I can no longer select elements (just shows whole blocks)

[Palaniyappan (Forum Leader)]

Hi @Jizh,

Great…! So If you are using desktop applications, almost all the applications will have their fields, icons and buttons readable/accessible, that is we will have selectors to access them. But if you are accessing any element in a web application, you may not have access of a field, icon or button with selectors, because the one who developed might blocked the access.

so the solution is,
for the first case…you can select an element for sure. To other extent if you are not able to access the element, you can make use of Find image activity to find the icon.
and this is applicable or second case as well.

Additionally, run the UiPath studio as admin that elevates the permission to access the element with selectors in different applications

Hope this would help you…For further more details please refer this,

Unable to find selectors for 'WindowsForms10.Window' application

I ran UiPath Studio as admin and it was able to recognise the UI Elements within the application meaning that it does in fact have elevated permissions. I created a small sequence spying each element and tried to run the sequence again but in ‘non-admin’ UiPath. It no longer works. Error message I receive: [Capture] I need to now establish whether I can continue to run robot with Admin permissions or change the target application to lesser permissions. Thank you all for the help.

Cheers…!
